Salvation Army Elmira Citadel Our House Community Residence

Our House Community Residence operates as a residential treatment facility where adults can focus on building sustainable recovery skills within a supportive community setting. The program provides structure and accountability for individuals who need more intensive support than outpatient programs can offer, while preparing residents for eventual independent living.

Residents engage in daily programming designed to address the practical and emotional aspects of recovery. The residential format allows participants to practice new coping strategies in a controlled environment while receiving immediate support when challenges arise. This approach helps bridge the critical gap between initial treatment and long-term community reintegration.

The recovery center emphasizes community connection and mutual support among residents as core elements of the treatment experience. Participants learn to support one another while developing personal accountability skills that transfer to life beyond residential treatment. This peer-centered approach helps build the social connections many people need for sustained sobriety.

Daily life at Our House combines structured programming with opportunities for residents to practice independent living skills. The community environment allows individuals to rebuild confidence in their ability to maintain recovery while having immediate access to support when needed.

The facility's round-the-clock operation ensures that residents have access to support at all hours, recognizing that recovery challenges don't follow business hours. This continuous availability provides security for individuals in early recovery who may experience difficulties during evenings, weekends, or holidays when other services are unavailable.

Located on Division Street in Elmira, the recovery center is accessible to individuals throughout Chemung County. The central location helps residents maintain connections with local recovery resources, family members, and community supports that will be important for their long-term success.
